SG: held by all five judges bench.

J Nath: what is the meaning of withhold? why it is being used...is there any constituent assembly debate on the word withhold? they could have said assent or do not assent.

SG: it is taken from 1919 Act and 1935 Act, no debate in constituent assembly. Without keeping in mind egregious situations, that it has been withheld without application of mind, all these are independent options. Let say if it contains atomic energy etc

CJI: he can send it to President

SG: its not repugnancy but complete outside legislative domain
